All! it was a cruel day TO US, petlots!
We we're leaving Acadia, we were aban-
doning the houses where our own chill
dren had been born and raised. we
were leaving as malefactOrs, friendless
penni!ess, without one ray OF hope TO
irradiate cur dark future, and 1t seemed
to us that poor desOlate Acadia was dear
er to rs now that we were forced to leave
it forever than ever before. Every OBJ
jsct that we saw, that we touched, re-
called to our hearts some sweet remem-
brance Of days gone by. Our whole life
seemed absorbed In the belongings OF
our houses, in the flowers that bright
ened our gardens in the trees whose fol-
liage shaded our yards. All these whls-
pered to us the ditties Of our blithe child
hood, Of our adolescence with its glowing
illusions of our ripper years 80 full OF
happiness and hope. These dear objects
had been the mute witnesses of all our
Joys and of all our sOrrOws; we were
leaving them forever, and as we gszed
upon them the happy memories OF the
past rose before US and we wept, for in
our despair we felt that the sacrifice ex-
ceeded our strength. Yet our sense Of
duty nerved Us to endure the trying or
deal, and we submitted to exile and pow
erty rather than dishOnOr ourselves by
becoming traitors and apostates.
In the course Of the day our grief In
creased and the scenes that took place
were hear trenGing. l never recall them
without shuddering.

the jury found damages for the plaintiff

The suit was brought on the theory OF

TO HAVE AN EXCURSION.

The World has given publicity to its
desire to have one or more excursions
run from the East to Wa-Keeney while
the fair is in operation this fall.
It affords us pleasure to state that Mr..
E. F. Porter, of this city, while on his re-
cent Iowa trip, arranged with the vice pres
ident of the Union Pacific for an excur-
sion from that and other states to reach
Wa-Keeney at noon of October IL. We
doubt not that the fair directory will
cheerfully fix Tuesday, October IL, as
the day for the fair to be opened. With
this combination of happy results facing
them, the people of Trego county, we
predict, will arise as one man, and be
ready to shout, "Clear the way, we have
articles to display at the Trego county
fair, and must attend to their arrange
ment until that important event has
passed into golden historyp'

THE WHEAT PLANT.

WE wish right here to remark that
there has not been fall for three years,
at least, so altogether favorable for the
wheat plant as the present. The ground
is full of water, which means death to
the abominable chintz-bugs, and much
damage to the Hessian fly where it
abounds; it also. insures strong fall
growth of the young plants which will
enable them, almost certainly, to pass
the winter without the "winter killing,
which has done so much damage in the
last two or three dry years. Moreover,
the drouth has given to most lands
fallow, or 'trest," whereby fertility has
been accumulated in them enormously,
and weeds checked or destroyed. VI
course wheat has, in many sections OF
the state, been poor crop for two years
past by reason of winter-killlng; but
these same ruined wheat-6elds we're in
the best possible condition for oats or
corn the following spring, 80 that not
much more than the seed wheat was lost.
Let it be remembered, however, that
when the Kansas farmer gets wheat
crop, it comes easier and costs less than
wheat crop grown in almost any other
spot on the globe Pref. Shelton IN
Kansas Ag. College IndHstriahst.
To those of our people who were so
fortunate as to visit the Trego county
farmers institute in the spring of 1886, it
is not necessary for us to apologize for
pub fishing anything which Prof. Shelton
may see fit to publish on current topics.
To those who thought too little of the in
stitute to give it any of their attention,
we have not since been in mood to
apologize.
The professors remarks on the heavy
rains meaning death to the chintz-bugs,
and insuring a strong fell growth OF the
wheat plant, are extremely liable to prove
correct. What he says concerning ruined
wheat fields being in the best possible
condition the next spring for oats or corn
is worth considering.
In this county our people intend to
plant wheat and rye with iberality. In
the Smoky valley nearly, or quite, all the
farmers are said to have their minds
made up in this direction. The crops will
more than pay their way if they serve no
other purpose than to furnish good graz
ing for live stock during the fall and win
ter. The grazing, if guarded judiciously,
will not be a whit in the way of good
crops of grain being realized.
